BACHELOR'S DEGREE IN 3 YEARS

Our programs are distraction-free, compressed, cutting-edge, and built for speed. Neumont offers bachelor's degrees that can be completed in only 3 years. That's 12 intense quarters where you'll earn 180 credits in general education and core tech courses. Compared to traditional colleges, this is tech heaven.

PROJECT-BASED LEARNING

At Neumont, our academic model is simple: learn to master technology in a project-based environment. In the tech industry, nearly all software is developed in a team, so you'll learn how to fill different roles, meet deadlines, manage requirements, and resolve conflicts.

EXPERT FACULTY

Neumont faculty walk the walk. Our instructors have worked at companies like Google, Harvard University, Disney, and other impressive places doing the same things they're going to teach you how to do. Abstract theory is great, but the practical application and real-world experience you'll get from our faculty is truly first-class.

PROGRAMMED FOR Success

Our curriculum combines theory, skills, and experience ensuring you'll have a portfolio of real work experience. Throughout your education, you'll work with our Career Services team to define your career objectives, practice interview techniques, craft a winning resume, and build a network of industry relationships. This combination of relevant experience and professional coaching is the secret behind Neumont's success.

LEARN HOW TO LEARN

At Neumont, we believe the best way to learn to code is to code. That's why our hands-on, project-based curriculum is designed to give our students the skills they need to carry on learning even after graduation, so you can stay sharp throughout your tech career.

YEAR-ROUND COURSES

At Neumont, you'll attend classes on a quarter system all year long.This means you'll take a greater number of courses per year and more closely mimic a full-time work schedule. By attending school at this pace, you can earn your bachelor's degree in just 3 years.

The Class Schedule:

Attend classes five days a week.

Quarters are 10 weeks long with two to three-week breaks between each quarter.

Classes include a mix of lecture, discussion, and hands-on work.

Courses may be offered on campus, online, or in a blended format.

Sprint System:

Each quarter is divided into two, five-week blocks called, "sprints."

During each sprint, you'll take anywhere from two to four classes.

Sprint schedules reduce the distraction of competing classes and homework.

Sprints allow you to focus on mastering one competency at a time to build a solid technical foundation.
